[QUOTE="Raudy707, post: 1854458, member: 105681"] Docdoc you are right but I think it's probably that low stability at 0 elevation. I'm running this bullet right now on the west coast at 900 feet elev and they are shooting just fine. I'm at 3200 fps so mine might be closer to 1.40 but the 25-06 with a 26" bbl can achieve these velocities. Most people probably will be at 3000 feet plus elevation and they will be 1.48 to 1.5 and considered stable at that point. I shot yesterday at 1005 yds and my Ruger No. 1 registered 2 hits out of 3 on a 12"x12" plate. I blew the wind call on the first shot and missed 6 inches right. But the stability and BC has not been an issue. You might be right about the 120 grain bullets being an issue but I know the 120 partition and Speer are both bullets with lead tips and are shorter than the 115 Berger so I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the boattail on the Speer. Or maybe his rifle just doesn't like them? He didn't state his twist rate or powder so maybe those are factors. We need more info. I attached a picture of left to right Berger 115, Nosler Partition 120 and Speer 120 boattail for some comparisons. [/QUOTE]
